Crown Group embraces Indonesian, Japanese and Australian influences for Sydney project

Crown Group chairman and CEO Iwan Sunito; world-renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and award-winning Sydney architect Koichi Takada are behind Mastery by Crown Group

The newest development from Crown Group will transform residential living in Sydney. Mastery by Crown Group is the vision of three industry leaders; Crown Group chairman and CEO Iwan Sunito; world-renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma and award-winning Sydney architect Koichi Takada.

The trio are aiming to create a space that is both eye catching and functional. Mastery by Crown Group is part of Sydney’s Green Square redevelopment precinct that is five kilometres from Sydney’s CBD and only three kilometres from the University of New South Wales.

“We are so proud to bring Mastery by Crown Group to Sydney. With Mastery by Crown Group, we are creating a new urban hub; a unique community where people can meet, connect, learn, relax and play together, enjoying an enriched community life in this growing suburb,” Sunito explained in a press release.

Mastery by Crown Group boasts unmatched design

The five-building development is the first collaboration of its kind in Sydney. An innovative, 19-storey tower is the project’s centrepiece. Kuma, an internationally acclaimed architect who made the Dezeen Hot List last year, has crafted a plant-filled, green exterior designed to emulate a stacked forest.

Japanese-born, Sydney-based architect Koichi Takada and his firm, which has won multiple awards for its residential, retail and hospitality designs, have designed three additional buildings at the development. They will bring a local flavour to Mastery by Crown Group that will mesh well with Kuma’s designs.

“It is my honour to work alongside Kuma-sensei, the Japanese master of architecture. It is a dream come true,” Takada explains. “I drew on an idea of ‘green luxury,’ finding inspiration in nature. Each building is designed with a ‘human touch’ to express its organic and distinct architectural character.”

The project features 384 luxury apartments as well as resort-style amenities, such as an infinity-edge cantilevered rooftop pool, gym and community room. There is also a retail space with restaurants, cafes and shops.

Mastery by Crown Group is expected to become a vibrant and diverse community in Sydney’s inner suburbs when completed in 2021. More than 40,000 jobs will be created in the Green Square area by 2030. This means units will be extremely coveted in the coming years.
